I disagree with the statement that the invention of the Internet has had negative ramifications. Personally, I think that the Internet, a new step in people's development, is a powerful database of all kinds of information. This step haS unlocked the doors of many scienTIFIC discoveries that seemed chimerical before the Internet was invented. Internet prevalence branches out into two various fields: in society and in science. In society THE Internet is mostly seen as a chance of being in touch with friends, neighbors, and parents; as an example we can take into account such Social Networks as Face book, Twitter, and others. In science THE Internet FILLS its most IMPORTANT part in space technologies, for instance, keeping frequencIES with astronauts clear.
The statisticS show that teenagers are using THE Internet very often. This is a beginning of all unfair speculations, unconfirmed notions about viewing THE Internet as a noxious invention that lead to many appalling consequences. This truth is universally acknowledged that everything excessive is harmful, for example, excessive food leadS to serious diseases; in this particular example, we can't conclude that "food has had negative effects". The same pattern is here. Using THE Internet too much, I mean A surfeit of using THE Internet, is harmful and could be a cause of many mental and physical disorders. Therefore, Internet users are guilty for such disorders, not the Internet invention itself.
The importance of the Internet invention in science is difficult to overate. As mentioned above, the Internet in this field is mostly used in space technologies. It's hard to believe, but no cell phones would be possible if there WAS no Internet. In my view, no Internet--no information. As the New York Times newspaper highlighted IN their main thesis: "A wealth of information!". The same thing is here: "A wealth of Internet!"
If I WAS asked to make an example OF JUST HOW did THE Internet help me, I would mention the possibility of buying books on-line. When I was preparing for the SAT, I needed to buy a couple of books; unfortunately, they were not available in my country and that's why I used the Internet FOR on-line shopping and bought the books that helped me as well as the Internet invention.
Finally, the Internet invention hasn't had aNY negative consequences; on the contrary, as I see it, considering MY main points above, it was a great discovery of humankind. :::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::: Not too bad at all Richard.

"a negative consequences"
The error is YOURS Richard. ConsequenceS is plural, therefore some/any is the logical match, not "a".
If you think that 10/10 is impossible, you are not trying hard enough. I told you and everyone that the scoring was about to become more stringent. ("Things are about to change.") A few people have made 9/10. They are trying very hard to make TEN. This is everyone's target. If you don't like my strict regime ............................... _________________ Keep it simple ...
